"Outreach and Training" activities for RBVI annual report and competitive grant renewals

This wiki encompasses all RBVI outreach and training activities, not just those related to Chimera.

The overall goal of the training component of the RBVI is twofold: to improve the general understanding of our technologies in the appropriate population and to create a cadre of biomedical researchers trained in the technology so that they can effectively apply it in their own research.

Each entry below should include the following:

  • Title of event (e.g., EMBO electron microscopy workshop)
  • Nature of training (e.g., hands-on use of Chimera volume visualization tools)
  • Date(s)
  • Location
  • RBVI staff involved
  • Hours of instruction (includes lectures, labs, and prep time)
  • Number of attendees
  • Comments/remarks/related URLs (e.g., students brought their own data sets for analysis)

2016/2017 report


May 30-June 4, 2016

Faculty at the EMBO Practical Course on Protein-Protein Interactions. A week-long master course funded by the European Molecular Biology Organization held at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. Taught sections on Cytoscape as well as Chimera and worked directly with a number of participants on their visualization and analysis challenges. 24 students, 16 hours preparation.

June 5-8, 2016

Pennsylvania State Bioinorganic Workshop. Two 4 hour hands-on workshops on using sequence similarity networks to aid in target selection, analyze metagenomics data, find and explore "linker" sequences, and explore genomic context. Approximately 20 attendees at each workshop. Approximately 1 week preparation + 8 hours teaching.

June 6-7, 2016

2 Day Ph.D. course offered at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. This was a shortened version of the 6 day course given the week before, but given for credit and pitched to a Ph.D. audience (although faculty were in attendance). Students were required to complete an assignment at the end of the course demonstrating their ability to combine network and structural analyses to investigate biological function. 30 participants, 8 hours preparation.
